Kusama released Happening in 1965.
Since 1967 she had a lot of happenings and fashion shows not only in New York
but also in Holland and Rome.
As she got more active , she was influenced by an anti-vietnam war movement and
American Presidential election and social elements were added to her art.
She started creating Kusama Dress and textile , which were sold at department
stores and boutiques all over the United States.
In 1969 she opened her own boutique.

Polka dots, the trademark of “Kusama Happening”. Red, green and
yellow polka dots can be the circles representing the earth, the sun, or the
moon. Their shapes and what they signify do not really matter. I paint polka
dots on the bodies of people, and with those polka dots, the people will self-obliterate
and return to the nature of the universe.
